Xiaomi has completed the development of a system-level push service that supports the unified push interface standard by December 31, 2019, and submitted a test application to the alliance, the Unified Push Alliance said on Sunday.
Affected by the Spring Festival holiday and the outbreak of new coronavirus pneumonia, the alliance recently tested related mobile phone system push services according to the standard "T-UPA0002-2019 Unified Push Interface Specification".
After testing, the system push service of Xiaomi mobile phones (including the Redmi brand, hereinafter collectively referred to as Xiaomi mobile phones) has met various technical requirements for unified push.
This time, the Xiaomi system-level message push service that supports unified push has been supported on MIUI 10.0 and above, and it will also be supported on all newly listed mobile phones.
For existing models, they will be updated through system upgrades in the future.
The Unified Push Alliance is a group led by Huawei and other Chinese phone makers with the aim of providing better push experience.
A push notification is a message that pops up on a mobile device. App publishers can send them at any time and users don’t have to be in the app or using their devices to receive them.
Now, the way most Chinese OEMs work is that they provide their own notification systems through their custom ROM instead of Google’s push notifications service. This can affect not only the performance of the device but also the battery life.
As a solution, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has formed the Unified Push Alliance to resolve the issue by unifying push notifications on all Android devices that are sent through different apps.
It will ensure that unified push notifications will allow handsets to receive push messages without waking up apps. For the user, this spells out to better performance, less memory consumption, and better battery life.
